About the flag
Since the change of government in December 2024, Syria’s flag is the green, white and black independence flag with three red stars, first adopted in 1932. Some devices still show the previous flag.
How to spot it: Now green, white and black stripes with three red stars; the older flag, still shown on some devices, is red, white and black with two green stars.
